[TheUWfarm] Farm Apprenticeship at Local Roots Farm

Local Roots Farm is looking for a few more apprentices for the 2013 season!

Local Roots Farm is a 13-acre diversified vegetable farm located only 30 minutes from Seattle in lovely Duvall, WA. We sell our produce at three farmers markets, through our 200-member CSA, and to Seattle-area restaurants.

An apprenticeship at Local Roots Farm will involve you in all aspects of our farm - from seeding to transplanting to harvesting to selling at the farmers market, tractor work, building projects, learning to drive a stick, hanging out, swimming in the river, and good cooking. Our goal is to teach everyone who works with us the fundamentals needed to start his or her own farm.

We pay a stipend of $600/month plus room and board for a 5-day work week of 40-50 hours/week. Employees who return for a second year get a pay raise to $10/hr plus room and board.

For more information, please see our ATTRA ad: https://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/internships/farmdetails.php?FarmName=&City=&State=WA&Keyword=&allDate=0&page=1&FarmID=1588

If you are interested in working with us, please send an email with a resume and a brief cover letter to jason@localrootsfarm.com

Thanks!
